Lost mine after installing a VGA silencer, but I'm not too happy with its performance, looks like the stock heatsink was doing a better job. Does anybody have one they'd like to sell?
THe VGA silencer does a MUCH better job. If you relaly want contact w/ the core, make sure to remove the core shim, and apply some AS5/Ceramique onto the core.
Heat transfer is fine, the heatsink gets quite hot, so it must be doing its job. The problem is, I was able to overclock higher with the stock cooler. Also, the stock cooler included integrated ramsinks.

I'm with you on that, I don't think my VGA silencer really does anything either, and I broke one of the pins on the stock Heatsink, I don't even really think it is that much quieter, IMO. TO fix the core shim problem I sanded it down on both sides, then I didn't have to touch the shim as it is really stuck on the cpu.
